Advisor Spotlight: Meet LEORA BALK! (Advisor)

Hey ladies and gentlemen! I’m Leo coming to you from Cincinnati, OH. During the year I’m in New York City attending Stern College for Women and studying Jewish and special education. I attended NCSY Michlelet for two summers back in the day as a camper, but this will be my first time staffing an NCSY Summer Program. Obviously TJJW Bus 4 is gonna be out of control amazing, so I am naturally quite excited to get this show on the road! Ready for fun facts? Triplet deer were born in my backyard (we watched) and quadruplet kittens were born in my basement window well. Interesting. I am a big zumba fan and plan on doing it in Cali with whoever’s up for it so bring workout clothes! I love love the beautiful, holy land of Israel but for now I’m getting excited about soaking up some West Coast sun. The start of our journey together has been long awaited and I cannot wait to meet each and every one of you!
